ill never understand why they put the servo is in the middle you need the steering link to be as long as posable to actualy help with the geomitry this looks like it just makes it worse ive never tryed it though so i cant realy say it just seems backwards to me |

The relocation correctly aligns the steering link parallel with the axle instead of sticking way out in front like it does stock. This also helps get rid of bumpsteer. | |

Currently the links are like this (looking from the top front -->): |\ This mount makes it so that the links are like this : || If you moved the servo forward even more than the stock location, you're going to end up with a steering link that looks like this: |-- Here is club5 video showing the difference between stock and this mount. | |

i had this installed but ended up uninstalling it. ran into some issues: 1) i got a holmes hobbies 21T motor, it's a tad longer than stock just a smidge, and the wiring heavily got in the way. i bent some things around to get it to work but my aftermarket servo still bumps into it and the ground wire. 2) i got some major tire rub with the husky link on my aftermarket tires (i had no tire rub with stock, plenty of space). I could get more clearance shoving in a buncha washers buuuuut i wanted to keep use of the stock plastic hubcaps lol i ended up moving the tierod to the bottom and leaving hte servo arm on the top fo the hub mount thingie. 3) i couldnt mount my bodyyyyy :( i already had magnets installed and the body was pushed slightly back to accomodate my winch. The hardware used to keep the grill inplace got in the way with the servo that i couldnt get the body to sit flush. i did noticed reduced body roll but at that point, i decided just to go back to stock. will probably save the relocation stuff for a future build. Anyone installing the husky links, did u notice tire rub? |

That's one of the first things I did when I got the Gen8. Some people were getting tire rub even with the stock links on stock setup so.... | |

i put a very small washer in there and it was enough to alleviate tire rub. wasnt till new beadlock rims & tires that tire rub went away: but once i install the husky with how club5 shows, i get that tire rub again :( they are nice and heavy links tho. | |

the husky links says the steering link is 10mm shorter than stock when i moved my servo i was able to use a longer rod end making it about 5mm longer making for even less bump steer | |

HumboldtEF was able to minimize his by essentially doing what the Club5 is doing. He created his own custom mount to move the steering link so that it's parallel with the tie-rod. | |

So a few things. I had rubbing on the husky links on stock tires. I got a 8mm brass hex to get just a little more clearance, and slightly shaves the end link a little. The first testing with the relocation saw no increase in steering. I also saw no lack of body roll. I have found the body roll to one side is from the steering pulling up on the one side making the other side go down. With a GT3c I have set my end points to stop this, but then get less steering. I also found with the link on the stock plastic portal knuckle it was flexing the plastic, which means in a short time it would likely break. Again setting end points reduced this, but also reduced steering. I have upgraded to Hot Racing brass knuckles, (new video up on that install) this stopped that flex. On my current setup I can turn right in 39 1/2 inches, left around 43 inches. I am still doing testing with the club 5 mount and I am not sold that it is worth it, but also not sold it is not. Updates to come. |

I just installed mine tonight, so far very happy with it other than the servo wire hitting the body. Got very good steering angles and it doesn't make the body roll anymore. I used an old Vattera Ascender link I had laying around and moved the tie rod to the bottom. After looking at my pics I may either put an angled rod end on the steering link or just go with a longer link and go to the top of the spindle, however it works pretty decent now.

Update, changed my upper link to the top of the spindle, works and looks much better. |
